I have been trying to replicate my favourite indian takeaway version of this recipe for a while, and most of the recipes I come across have cream and a lot of garlic. I was surprised that the recipe in Madhur Jaffrey’s World Vegetarian tome used neither, and although I didn’t follow the recipe very closely the […]

His main ingredients for salad are borlotti beans, pumpkin and brussle sprout tops, so you could try these for a winter salad. The maple-sesame dressing is a real winner – sweet, nutty, spicy and filling. As it […]

I bought a couple of little Denby pots with lids at a car boot sale and have been thinking of a good recipe to make in them! This is the result, and an ideal way of making the most of the lovely spinach available at the moment from the garden or market. The moreish combination of […]

By August the new batch of squashes that will see us through the autumn are appearing in the markets (and perhaps in your garden if you have space to grow them). This recipe is very easy, and the dish is a visually pleasing thing to serve up to friends, perhaps with some green beans, mushrooms […]

I hope you find this vegetarian blog inspiring - even if you're not a veggie yourself. Most of the recipes I have tried and tested on non-vegetarians and they have gone down well, and equally the restaurants reviewed are mainly non-vegetarian places that have an inspiring veggie option or two. Whether you believe in healthy diet, eating a bit less meat to do your bit for the planet, or whether - like me - you think a meat-free diet is both better tasting and better for you - then I hope you'll be in good company here. All suggestions for recipes and restaurants happily received!
